Thread: URL's fixed

I ran linkchecker on our SGML URL's and fixed a few; patch attached.
Many of the Berkeley URL's ones no longer work.  I am not sure if it is
a temporary problem or permanent.  Does anyone know?

s2k-ftp.CS.Berkeley.EDU is still there according to ping, but I can't
get it to respond to port 8000 (nor 80, nor ftp).  The connection times
out rather than giving "Connection refused".  I surmise that some
helpful sysadmin has filtered out port-8000 connections at Berkeley's
firewall.  Does anyone know anybody at Berkeley who might be able to
look into this?

The site seems to be back up.  It was probably just a temporary failure
this morning, because I'm pretty sure I could access it two days ago.

Seems to be back up, at least from here: I get the Sequioa Project
homepage, and links to all the archives. Perhaps it was a temporary
abberation?
